TVS Diodes

The Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode is a protection device designed to protect electronic circuits from very fast and often damaging voltage transients, such as lightning and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). TVS diodes are silicon avalanche devices typically chosen for their fast response time (low clamping voltage), lower capacitance, and low leakage current. TVS diodes are ideal for applications in computer, industrial, telecom, and automotive markets.
